The short answer

Document the Damage First

Before you contact your insurance company, take photos and videos of every water-affected area. Capture the source of the water, the extent of the damage, and any personal or business property that got wet. This evidence supports your claim and helps the adjuster understand the situation.

Write down the date and time you noticed the damage, and note any ongoing leaks or flooding. Keep a list of damaged items with their approximate value and purchase dates. This record also helps the pros who later handle the drying and repairs.

Review Your Policy for Coverage

Read your commercial policy to see what perils are covered, such as burst pipes, roof leaks, or storm damage. Look for exclusions like flood or gradual damage, which may not be covered. Policies vary, and your insurer decides what is covered, so check your policy carefully.

If the damage came from a sudden event, you may have coverage, but if it resulted from neglect or poor maintenance, the claim could be denied. Ask your insurance company for a clear explanation of your coverage and any deductibles that apply.

  • Take photos before moving anything
  • Note the water source and damage date
  • List damaged items with values
  • Check policy for flood and gradual damage exclusions
  • Keep receipts for emergency purchases

Contact Your Insurance Company

Call your insurance company as soon as you can after documenting the damage. Provide them with your policy number, a description of the incident, and the evidence you collected. They will guide you on the next steps, such as filing a formal claim and scheduling an adjuster visit.

Be honest about the extent of the damage and avoid exaggerating. If you have questions about the claims process, ask them directly. Keep a log of all conversations, including dates, names, and what was discussed.

Prevent Further Damage

After documenting, take steps to stop additional water damage. Shut off the water supply if a pipe burst, and move valuable items to a dry area. Use towels or a wet-dry vacuum to remove standing water, but do not throw away damaged property until the adjuster sees it.

Your insurance policy may require you to make reasonable temporary repairs to prevent further loss. Save all receipts for materials and labor, as these may be reimbursable. If the damage is extensive, the pros can handle emergency water extraction and structural drying.

  • Shut off the water supply if safe
  • Move valuables and business inventory
  • Remove standing water with a wet-dry vacuum
  • Save receipts for temporary repairs
  • Do not discard damaged items until adjuster visits

Work with Water Damage Pros

After the adjuster documents the damage, you may need professional help to dry and repair the mobile home. Local water damage pros can extract water, dry out walls and floors, and prevent mold growth. They can also provide a detailed report of the damage, which supports your claim.

Choose a pro who has experience with mobile homes and commercial structures. Ask for a written scope of work and an itemized cost breakdown. The cost depends on the extent of the damage and the materials involved, so you can expect a range of a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if my mobile home is flooded?

First, ensure your safety and shut off electricity if safe. Document the damage with photos, then contact your insurance company. Remove standing water if possible, and call the pros for extraction and drying to prevent mold.

Does my commercial policy cover mold after a water leak?

Coverage for mold varies. Many policies exclude mold or limit it unless the water damage was sudden and accidental. Check your policy and ask your insurer. If mold appears, a mold professional can assess the situation.

How long do I have to file a claim?

Most policies require you to report damage promptly, often within 30 days or a year, depending on the policy. Check your policy for the specific deadline. Filing late can jeopardize your claim, so act quickly after discovering the damage.
